Repave Taylor Point Marina Parking Lot: $375,000
Discussed repave Taylor Point Marina Parking Lot that was in the Capital Plan for FY2020 in the amount of $375,000. Parking lot and curbing at Taylor Point Marina is in very bad shape. Could put down a shimming overlay that could last for 8 – 10 years for $250,000. Parking lot does need to be done before FY2020.Committee to reduce cost from $375,000 to $250,000 by doing the shimming overlay. Town Administrator recommends putting the repave of Taylor Point Marina Parking Lot in FY2016 making the total capital request for FY2016 $293,000
Value of Taylor Point Marina net after expenses including personnel and gasoline is $400,000.
Repower Y-56 2008 Pump-Out Boat: $17,500
Current engine has been in service for 7 seasons and hope to get thru this boating season and trade in for a new engine to put in service for the 2016 season. Pump-out boats are used to remove sewerage from holding tanks from vessels at any location in Bourne waters. Will look into applying for an environmental credit and will also seek reimbursement from the Clean Vessel Act.

Equipment Useful Life: 6-8 years
Repower 1970 Boston Whaler: $13,000
Boston Whaler stays at Taylor Point Marina is used as a yard boat, patrol boat for getting into shallow areas like Buttermilk Bay and is the only boat in fleet that can get under Cohasset Narrows Bridge, waterways and shellfish regulation enforcement and also responds to search and rescue calls. Hull is in great shape with exception of doing a little fiberglass work. This engine has been in service for 8 boating seasons and hope to get 1 more season.
Current engine is a 2007 Mercury 4 stroke 60 HP engine that will be replaced with another mercury engine. Will get government price and quotes from several other venders.
Request to purchase a 2015/2016 Mercury 60 HP 4 Stroke outboard engine

Repower Y-57 2011 Carolina Skiff: $12,500
Carolina skiff is the main workboat for the department. Primarily used for shellfish relay and Propagation Programs, put in and haul all floats at the Monument Beach Marina, all town floats and swim floats and maintain town’s navigation aids throughout the town.
Current engine is a 2011 Yamaha 4 stroke 60 HP outboard engine and has been in service for 4 seasons and should have a little trade-in value.
Request to purchase a 2015/2016 Yamaha 4 stroke 60 HP outboard engine.
Equipment Useful Life: 4-5 years
Shore & Harbor
Annual Dredging/Ramp Repair and Improvement: $95,000
Paul Bushueff represented the Shore & Harbor Committee. Mr. Mullen said in absence of the Chairman and Vice-Chairman, he’ll speak long with Mr. Bushueff.
This is an annual dredging request to meet the town’s dredging needs and to repair and or maintain the town’s public access piers and ramps. Upcoming dredging projects and included in the next phase of the permitting process are channel and boat basin at Barlow’s Landing and mouth/channel at Pocasset River Marina. These are the last 2 major permits and once in hand all major areas will get done every 10 years and will submit under 1 certificate similar to the Monument Beach Marina configuration permit that also included the septic system, parking lot and maintenance to building.
South channel at Barlow’s Landing, Redbroook Harbor between Scraggy Neck and Hospital Cove were done approximately 2001.
Project cost varies depending on the scope of the project.
New Double Lane Boat Ramp at Monument Beach: $550,000
There was $25,000 allocated for engineering study for the boat ramp. Contracted with engineering firm for $19,000 and can’t make excuses for them but the study is not completed. Received an estimated cost of $644,000 for the new double lane boat ramp but when work is completed, cost may be closer to $550,000.
There is concern on how much this ramp is going to cost to build and what it provides to the town. Monument Beach Marina has a public boating ramp for the citizens of the town with public parking with the purchase of a beach sticker and can also purchase gas at the end of the dock. There are 60 – 70 parking spots for trailers.
Paul Bushueff said the double boat ramp is the Shore & Harbor’s top priority. There is adequate parking at this location. The base of the ramp is staring to silt in and requires maintenance. This ramp will be the only facility with ramps on either side for handicap accessibility and there is nothing that says ramps need to be ADA compliance. Ramps make people want to spend money and need to maintain which is paid out of Waterways Improvements.
Committee said they can’t do anything at this point and time but need to have engineering study and a better estimate.
Ramp would be paid for in 3 ways: CPC, Waterways Improvement and borrowing.
IT
New Phone System: $50,000
Chairman Mastrangelo said this is ongoing and need more of a 5-year plan. Linda Marzelli took the blame for not completing since IT Director is new at this and didn’t know.
Phase 1 included Town Hall and Fire Department for complete phone system installations and wiring the Police Station and Community Center. New phones will have called ID.
Phase 2 includes the Police Department and Community Center. Part of the plan was to include the Schools and IT Director has been working with Superintendent LaMarche for installation at Bournedale Elementary School. They have fiber hooked in but are waiting to see how it all works. Other town buildings can tentatively can be fitted in. Don’t have firm cost to run fiber to the new DPW facility.
Present phone system not including internet costs $3,000 per month, with new system cost would be reduced to $800 to $1,000 per month.
Chairman Mastrangelo asked IT Director for more detailed cost of the phone system and would need prior to Town Meeting.
New Back-up System Implementation: $32,751
Installation of a back-up system at Town Hall which would replicate with the school allowing for off-site backups between the 2 buildings.
The system is expandable that the life can be extended beyond its current configuration to allow more data to be backed up to it over time.
Project Useful Life: 10+ years
ISWM
Phase IV Stage 1 Final Cap and Closure: $1,500,000
Final closure of the currently active Phase IV Stage 1 Cell. Final closure reduces leachate costs by preventing infiltration and also reduces gas migration potential by capping and installing a permanent gas collection system.
Hope to start the project in August 2015 with a completion in April 2016.
Project will be funded through the Closure Account within the Enterprise Fund’s Retained Earnings.
Project Useful Life: 30 years

Original capital request was for $410,000 for an Off-Road truck and know has been changed to purchase a 35 ton Articulated Dump Truckat the cost of $520,000 and this change will need to be made on the capital spreadsheet.
ISWM currently has a 2000 caterpillar D250 E, 6 wheel, all-wheel-drive articulated Dump Truck. These trucks are all-terrain vehicles used to move soils, compost, municipal solid waste and construction and demolition at the landfill. This is one of the most expensive trucks in the fleet. This has been put off for about 6 times and with getting into Phase 6 soon there will be a need for this truck. Several years ago looked at trading in with 2 prices came in close at $16,000 but decided to run it into the ground instead. Will trade-in caterpillar and Volvo instead.
